As part of the NHS Digital First Programme, our practice uses AI-powered tools — Accurx Scribe— to assist clinicians with note-taking during consultations.

Purpose of Use

  • Improve accuracy of medical records
  • Reduce clinician administrative workload
  • Support better patient care

How It Works

  • Transcribes conversations or dictated notes during your consultation
  • Summarises key health information into your medical record
  • Uses natural language processing and speech recognition

Your Consent

  • Consent will always be sought before your consultation is transcribed.
  • Your identifiable data remains within the practice and is stored on UK-based servers.
  • No identifiable data is used to train the AI models.

These tools do not make clinical decisions — they are used to support, not replace, healthcare professionals.
